^ They should just make it steel girder and be done with it. A bridge over a railyard is no place for ornamentation. It's one thing to put a beautiful bridge over a river where it complements the beauty of the natural surroundings, but the CP yards are another story.

That said, an even better solution is to just rebuild the McPhillips Underpass (which will have to be done anyway) and forget about rebuilding the Arlington Bridge. It's a bit of a historical fluke that it exists in the first place, and had it never been built absolutely no one would be calling for a bridge on that spot.
